Family life

As at 20 January 2021 the up to date immigration rules are also available on the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-rules. This is useful in that the page contains an index of parts of the rules, and then publishes each part on a separate link. Frequent reference to the rules will give you access to and understanding of the requirements of immigration law and will bolster your understanding and knowledge. Take time to become familiar with them.
